The Photoshop Channels Book

图书介绍

• Author: Scott Kelby

One big advantage Photoshop professionals have always had was the

understanding of channels. It was their secret weapon, and it enabled

them to do things, and work in an entirely different way than their

competitors, and maybe that's why the secret power of Photoshop's

channels has been such a closely guarded secret. Until now.

Award-winning, bestselling author Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop User

magazine) shows you how to unlock the power of Photoshop's Channels and

really start using Photoshop like a pro. But this isn't a book of theory

and technical explanations, this is a step-by-step project-based book

that will teach you exactly how to the pros use channels in their

everyday work (Using channels is one of the secrets they use to get twice

the work done in half the time). You'll learn how today's top

photographers and graphic designers employ channels to make impossible

selections, to speed their production workflow, to color correct images,

to mask images, to create stunning color to black and white conversions,

and to do dozens of inside tricks that set them apart from the field.

There's a reason there's always been a mystique to using channels, and

why Photoshop users who understand and use them stay on the cutting edge.

Now, their secrets are revealed using the same plain-English style that

has made Scott one of the leading Photoshop authors and instructors in

the world today. You'll be amazed at not only what you're able with

channels, but you'll love the competitive advantage that using channels

will give you. If you're ready to take your Photoshop skills to the next

level, you're holding the book that will take you there, and you're gonna

love it!
